It is horrendously and totally shockingly expensive. US$20k per
seat was the figure I heard.

libsndfile is on there. Unfortunately the process is completely fscking
appalling and more of an annoying teaser than anything that is useful.
They are un-responsive and I can't submit a work in progress to them so
I can fix bugs before a release. Instead, I do a release and several 
months later, by some random process I don't understand, they might
get around to scanning the code I released months ago which may bear
little resemblance to the code I have now.
